"We had a new manager in this tournament in Rawl Lewis. He was doing the job for the first time. He came to Dubai and we know what he did so that we get the jerseys. We did not have the jerseys. Got to give credit to the entire team here. This is for all the fans in the Caribbean. President Mitchell (Keith Mitchell, president of Grenada) send us an inspiring message.
"I don't know when I'm going to be playing for West Indies again, I want to thank my team, thanks my coaching staff. This is for the Champions," he concluded.
